*A few months Post Engagement**

"ALL RIGHT! WHO STOLE MY SHUCKIN'-"

"-oh wait...here it is."

Minho was just making coffee and getting the girls ready for school and they froze.

"Babe?" He called cautiously, "everything okay?" He heard some indistinguishable yelling and things slamming around in the bedroom. He sighed and shook his head. Chloe and Raegan looked at him with wide eyes. He gave them a small smile.

"All right girls ..buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy week." Minho whispered to them.

They both pretended to zip their lips and throw away the key. Alex stomped into the room. Minho eyed her up for a moment then poured her an even bigger cup of coffee than normal and handed it over.

"I'll stop at Fry's and get some extra bacon and cookies later on my way home." He said with a knowing smile as he kissed her cheek.

Alex flopped into a chair with a groan and let her head hit the table. Minho sat down beside her and rubbed her back.

"That bad?"

"Your shucken lucky you were born a dude. Being a girl sucks. Sorry girls...one day you'll understand...but ya. That bad." She whined, and groaned again.

"I can only imagine. I guess I'm in for a wild ride...three of ya in one house." Minho chuckled to himself. He stood up and kissed her head.

Alex just groaned again, not bothering to lift her head.

"Okay, babe, I'll drop the girls off at school first and see you at Fry's in a bit. Don't stab anyone!"

"No promises!" She mumbled into the table top.

"You are an absolutely beautiful murderus little creature. I love so shucken much." Minho chuckled as he pulled her up from the chair and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

She smiled up at him, "it's a gift." He kissed her forehead and hummed.

"I'll see you soon." She grumbled.

"Later Sunshine." Minho kissed her one last time. Picked up Raegan and followed Chloe out the door.

"Your Sunshine is feeling like a murderus thundercloud today ..." Alex muttered to herself.

Alex slouched over to the table with their friends and slid onto the bench with a groan and layed her head onto Minho's shoulder.

"You made it." He chuckled, wrapping an arm around her, pulling her closer.

"Good morning!" Newt said brightly as he sat down opposite them with Simon beside him.

"Says who?" Alex snapped.

"Jeeze. What's your bloody problem?" Newt asked, digging into his breakfast.

"I'm CRANKY, Newt. I'm bloody CRANKY." She snapped and glared at him.

Newt froze, his fork half way to his mouth. Alex didn't even blink.

"No..? Too soon?" She asked.

She heard a few snickers and coughs down the table.

"Shuck sakes Alex. That was just mean! Just because you're on your bloody period!" Newt huffed.

Simon patted Newt's back in sympathy, but the corner of his lip twitched. Alex slowly lowered her coffee cup, her eyes narrowed dangerously. She let a small growl from the back of her throat out. Minho rubbed small circles on her lower back trying to help her calm down.

"Well Newton. I woke up in a pool of my own blood. Is that how you'd like me to end yours?"

Newt gasped, while everyone else at the table burst into giggles. Alex didn't break her cold look.

"Would you tell your fiance to calm down? Jeez man!" Newt rounded on Minho.

Minho gave Newt a withering look.

"You want me," he pointed at himself shocked, "to...to tell her to calm down?! The woman who can snap a grown man's neck with her bare hands? That would be as useful as trying to baptize a cat!"

"Shuck right it would be. Do it. I dare you" she hissed at Newt. "I'll see you late babe."

The whole table was all trying to stifle giggles. Alex just growled again. She got up, kissed Minho and stormed away to the Medical station to start her day. Leaving a sputtering Newt behind.

______________________

Alex and Brenda reported to Captain Ronin, they were the field medics today. They checked in and made their way to the little tent in the corner of the training area.

"Well...it's gonna be a long hot shuckin day." Alex grumbled, she had dumped her med bag onto the small table.

"Yep." Brenda popped the p as she flopped onto the stool.

Alex stood in the tent entrance, leaning on the pole, watching the new recruits. Ronin had them in lines and was having them do pushups. Felix, Minho, Kenzie and Finn walked up and down the lines, watching observing and correcting.

"Any good ones?" Brenda called.

Alex shrugged. One girl had caught her eye, making Alex frown.

"Hey. Do you remember that one chick we cleared a few days ago? Long brown hair, brown eyes, kinda pretty but an attitude?" Alex asked over her shoulder.

Brenda stood up and came over. Alex nodded towards the group.

"Second row at the end."

"Oh ya. The witch with a capital B. Uhh what was her name..m Vivian?" Brenda snorted.

"That's the one. She's got her eyes glued to our guys." Alex couldn't keep the snarl out of her voice.

Brenda glanced at her with a smirk, "Minho said no stabbing people."

"And I said no promises." Alex grumbled as she folded her arms, glaring at the girl who was batting her eyelashes at her man.

The girls spent the morning patching up the recruits and handing out water and ice. The first week of training always had accidents. But this group though, seemed to be even worse. Captain Ronin and the trainers hoped it was just the heat, making everyone clumsy and slow. One guy ended up with a minor bullet wound to the arm. It just grazed his arm, but there was a significant amount of blood and required both Alex and Brenda to patch him up. Ronin had ripped into the whole group with the basics of gun safty.

"These are just rubber training bullets! How does this happen? Your all a bunch of idiots! I have never trained a more useless group!"

He stormed into the Med tent and fired the two responsible; the one who pulled the trigger and the injured guy.

"Who the hell is stupid enough to walk into the line of fire?" Ronin roared at them.

"Hey! Ronin?! Get the shuck out of the med tent! Yell at the slint head after he's stitched up, ya?" Alex yelled.

During the next break Alex had taken some water out onto the field to hand out. To her frustration Vivian had sidled up to Felix, Minho and Finn. The guys had stripped their shirts in the heat, their muscular toned bodies on display. Despite the heat Vivian's hair seemed to look perfect, and with her tight tank top showing off her curves most guys were eyeing her up. As Alex approached Vivian looked over her shoulder and gave Alex a look of condescension. She flipped her hair, looking back to the guys and took a closer step towards Minho, laying a hand on his arm when he looked at Alex, trying to get his attention back. Anger flashed in Alex's eyes. Minho moved his arm so he had folded them, pulling his arm away from her.

Someone has a death wish.

"I don't think anyone is going to pass the obstical course this round." Felix was saying.

"Agreed. These guys...are terrible!" Minho agreed, turning his head back to Felix. "I could tell who was cut out right from the first 10 min back in the maze. Training runners is no different then here. These shanks are awful."

"Well, when you guys design training purposely for us to fail..." Vivian said, flinging her long chestnut hair over her shoulder again fluttered her eyelashes, "how are we supposed to succeed? It's hard." She pouted.

Her voice grated on Alex's nerves. She clenched her fists, so she wouldn't punch her face. Alex snorted in amusement and handed the waters to Minho, Felix and Finn.

"Excuse me?" She said, her eyes flashed.

"You heard me shank. I snorted in dirision at your stupid comment." Alex snapped.

The guys sniggered.

"You're just a nurse. How would you know? I don't see you out here. Go back to the tent. Someone might need a bandaid for their booboo."

Felix and Minho both choked on their waters. And Finn went "oooh". The guys all made eye contact and spluttered some more.

"I'd be careful who you insult, their princess." Alex said so calmly it sounded even more threatening.

"Might be the last thing you ever do." Finn nodded.

"Oh really?" She rolled her eyes, putting her hands on her hips. "I'm training as a soilder. What are you doing? Putting bandaids on booboos and handing out water."

"Have you ever taken a life Vivian?" Alex stepped closer, "Ever felt the crack and pop of a neck breaking? Ever felt warm sticky blood run over your hands as you watch the life leave their eyes?" Alex challenged, raising an eyebrow, she was whispering now, up in her face.

Vivian hadn't said anything or changed her facial expression, but you could see her eyes went widen for a moment of shock.

Minho grabbed Alex's hips and pulled her away as Alex growled, "Sure, I'm a nurse now. But I can kick your sissy little ass anytime anywhere-"

"-Probably blindfolded!" Finn snickered.

"And both hands ride behind her back!" Felix added.

Alex was standing between the guys now, arms crossed, a smug look on her face. Her boys believed in her, knew she was the best and this new chick had no chance.

"You think she can beat me in that obstacle course? The ones these handsome men were saying one would be able to get through?" Vivian challenged the boys.

All the guys smirked and nodded. Vivian stuck a hip out and pouted, batting her eyelashes again.

"Well...What happens if I win?" She cooed, trying to place a hand on Minho's arm again.

The guys shrugged and rolled their eyes.

"How about a date? We can spend some time together...get to know each other?" She directed this question to Minho, stepping closer, trying to run a hand across his bare chest. Minho crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow as he smacked her hand away. Alex looked like she was ready to stab someone.

"Nope." He popped the p. "I'm taken."

Vivian frowned and turned to Felix, trying to touch him now. Felix shook his head and took a step back. "Also taken."

She turned her eyes onto Finn. He frowned at her and shook his head. "Nope."

"Oh we'll see, boys." She cooed again, her dark eyes all over Minho. She flung her hair as she turned back to Alex. It took all Alex's will power not to punch her pretty face. She was breathing heavily.

"Okay nurse." She put an emphasis on the word nurse, making it sound derogatory. "Let's go. Right-"

"-ACE!" Ronin bellowed across the training ground.

Alex turned to see him standing by the shooting range, beside the holographic training room. Brenda and Kenzie stood beside him, arms folded looking smug.

Even though they lived on an island, away from the mainland, over the last year and a half the scavenger teams had constantly come back with all kinds of gadgets and equipment. They mostly trained outside on the beach and a shaded cleared area, but they did eventually over time build a state of the art holographic training room. It was an odd mix of technology and roughed old school training.

"Yes, my Marshmallow?" Alex yelled back.

"Come give these idiots a demonstration on how a proper Squad is supposed to look! They aren't getting it." He yelled again.

Alex smirked even bigger. Her eyes flashing with a manic glee as she turned to look at Vivian's stunned face.

Felix chuckled, and gave her a high five. "Go show 'em how it's done, Alex the Ace."

"Go gettem Tiger." Minho growled, smacking Alex's butt as she turned.

Alex grinned wickedly at him and winked. And then laughed to herself at the look on Vivian's face.

______________________

Alex was standing between Kenzie and Brenda, all three with a smug look behind Captain Ronin as he yelled some more intrusions at the the recruits.

They all crowded around the class walls of the room. The girls grabbed a rifle and gave each other evil grins and cocked their guns at the same time.

"Ready? Suiside Squade!" Alex asked

"Born ready!" Brenda grind.

"Let's show these pansies how it's done." Kenzie laughed.

"Listen up!" Ronin bellowed. "This trio was our best missions group in the Right Arm. Ace of here," Ronin gestured at Alex who grinned maliciously and nodded at the reqrutes. "She was a trained elite soldier in WICKED's empire before she single handedly took them down. She's the Squade commanding officer, but this team knows how to read each other act without words and they trust each other with their lives. This is how a real Squad should be! They get in, get the job done. Never had any casualties-"

"-the other side sure had casualties!" Kenzie interupted with a grin, giving Brenda a high five. Alex watched as Vivian's face got reder and reder.

"As I said. They trust each other with their lives. That's how a squad should be." Ronin continued as if he hadn't been interupted.

"Suicide Squad Sisters!" Kenzie whispered again.

Ronin turned towards the girls. He clasped his hands behind his back and nodded his head. The girls nodded back.

Ronin typed in a few things on the keypad. He glanced up at the girls, "just getting through it? Or giving them a show?" The corns of how mouth twitched up.

Alex scoffed. "Pfft. Don't insult us, Ronin."

The corners of his mouth twitched again, and there was a twinkle in his dark eyes. Felix,Finn and Minho stood on either side of him, smirking with their large arms folded, making muscles pop.

Alex reveled in the shocked anger on Vivian's face. She loved when other people underestimated her and she got to show them up.

"Just a second Cap!" She called, and to rub it in a little bit more she made a bit of a show of pulling her ring off sauntering over to Minho.

"Hold my ring, love?" She held out her diamond engagement ring.

"You got it baby." He smirked down at her, 'go knock 'em dead."

She turned away, cocked her gun and winked, "Is there any other way? It's not a successful day unless there's a little bit of murder."

Minho chuckled and smacked her butt again with a growl. Alex swung her hips on the way back to the girls, as she passed Vivian, she winked. The girls' face flammed red and her she ground her teeth.

"All right my sisters. Ready to fuck shit up?"

"Always." Kenzie and Brenda nodded.

The girls stepped into the solid glass room. Alex nodded to Ronin, letting him know they were ready. He pushed the button to start the simulation. The lights went dark, and the noise from outside shut off. The girls made eye contact and nodded at each other.

"Like old times." Brenda grinned.

"Good times." Kenzie whispered.

The simulation kicked in, and a broken city street flared to life. The girls brought up their guns in unison and got into their ready position; Alex in the middle, Kenzie to the right and Brenda to the left. A small group of black clade soldiers came storming down the end of the street. Alex pulled the trigger of her gun and the middle one dropped. At the same time the soldier on the left and right dropped in a spray of holographic blood.

"Centre." Alex called.

"Right." Kenzie called.

Two more dropped. Brenda swiveled around, to protect their backs and another guard dropped. The street was quiet for a moment, Alex and the girls stayed still for a moment, eyes sweeping.

"Forward." Alex called.

As one the team slowly took a few steps forward, guns up heads on the swivel. Something rustled to the side. Alex's hair stood up on the back of her neck...

"Carful..." Alex said. Something caught her eye. "Bee. Three o'clock." Alex whispered urgently. Brenda spun and two seconds later a soldier dropped out of the second story window. A few other shots rang out.

"Cover." Alex called.

"Boxes, right in front. Go, I'll cover." Kenzie called.

Alex and Brenda ran for the boxes while Kenzie shot into the building windows.

"Kenz! Go!" Brenda yelled.

Kenzie swiveled towards them and sprinted at Brenda and Alex covered her. Shots rained down on them from the windows above.

Alex peeked around the corner. She pulled her head back.

"Second floor, third and fourth window. I'll go, draw them out. Take em out." Alex said. The girls nodded.

Alex crouched, and sprinted from the box, running down the street, drawing the attention of the window and roof shooters. As shots rang out she dove and rolled, coming up on her knee, spun around pulling her gun up and shot towards the window. Soldiers fell out of the broken window. Alex rolled again, her gun still raised, she took out a few guys on the roof, and two more from the window. Kenzie and Brenda took out more guards from behind her in the building opposite. Alex spun on her knees, her eyes trailing the roof top and windows again. The shots had stopped. The street was quiet. Alex got up onto her feet. Kenzie and Brenda got up and started towards Alex.

Alex froze. Her eyes sweeping the area again. Alex raised her gun, the other two had made it to Alex. Just as they meet up in the middle of the street, they were surrounded, guards came pouring out from the doorways.

"Ahh I like these odds." Brenda grinned.

"Finally an actual challenge." Kenzie chuckle.

"Fire at will. Loose buys drinks!" Alex called.

The three girls went back to back. They moved as one, twisting, turning, ducking and shot in one fluid motion. The way the girls could move together yet separately, communicate without words and anticipate what they were going to do. It was like watching a deadly choreographed dance.

It went quiet, the last soldier fell and the girls grinned at each other. Alex breathing heavy listened for a moment. She stood up from her knees, shouldering her gun. The other two girls high fived and had started walking back down the street where they started.

A gun cocked behind Alex and a robotic voice called "freeze."

Alex glanced over her shoulder and the guy dropped with two bullets in his chest. Alex felt the wind as the bullets zipped past her. She didn't blink or flinch. It wasn't the first time her girls had her back and sent a bullet inches from her.

Alex looked back at the girls smirking. They lowered their guns, smirking right back. The broken street simulation faded and the lights flicked on. Standing outside the window was the new group of new recruits along with some of the older groups, Vince and a few of the other SadeHaven residents. They all standing around watching with a mix of shock awe and amusement.

Alex found Minho's eyes. They had pride and amusement dancing in his eyes. He flashed her a roughish smile. She bit her bottom lip, knowing that drove him crazy.

She caught sight of Vivian and Alex couldn't help but smirk even bigger. Ronin unlocked the door and slid it open. The girls shouldered their guns and step out to a round of cheers and applause. The trio grinned and took a bow.

"Hey! Cap? What were the numbers?" Brenda called.

It went quiet, and Ronin looked at the screen for a moment.

"50 soldiers were simulated. Kenzie took out 12.5, Brenda took 12.5. Alex took 25. Every shot was a kill shot. Head, chest or throat." Ronin rumbked.

"Looks like you're both buyin' me drinks tonight!" Alex laughed.

Vivian elbowed her way to the front, just as Minho wrapped an arm around Alex's waist accompanied by Felix holding Teresa's hand, Thomas, Gally, Newt hand in hand with Simon.

"As always babe. That was shucken hot." Minho growled, his eyes dark.

"Shuck ya it was. I'm always your spicy disaster."

Vivian snorted. "Ya, disaster is right." She muttered for only Alex to hear.

"Hey, guys did you hear something?" Alex asked the group, her voice full of sarcasm.

They looked at her funny. Alex shrugged, with a small smirk.

"You hearing things, Alex?" Gally chucked.

"Ya, voices in your head?" Vivian snarked.

"Ya.. four voices have said your an idiot, and the fifth is deciding where to burry your body." Alex snapped.

The group collectively snorted and choked.

The girls eyes flashed dangerously. "Well, I'm sure if you didn't have the other two sharp shooters you wouldn't have made it out alive." Vivian shrugged, her voice sickly sweet.

"Uhh, you fall and wack your head?" Kenzie asked.

"She shot half those simulations herself." Newt added, his eyebrows were pulled together, and looking at this new girl with a mix of confusion and anger.

"If that's not enough proof for you honey, you and me. Let's go."

"Fine."

"Obstical course. You need brains, strength, speed and accuracy." Alex explained, crossing her arms.

"SET UP THE COURSE! I HAVE A SLINT HEAD TO HUMILIATE!" Alex turned and yelled to the group. Everyone cheered and rushed off to set it up.

"You got a death wish girl." Felix shook his head

Alex turned back towards Vivian, "Also. Keep your dirty hoe hands off my fiance. He's mine." Alex growl.

"Hmm. Maybe for now. But I always get what I want. And I want him." Vivian whispered so only Alex could hear, but smiled sweetly.

Alex was ready to actually stab someone. But she swallowed it down. And smiled back at her.

"Good luck sweaty." She whispered back.
